Hmm.. what do you mean? I can get a comparable sound from my Nepheton... with a little processing.

If you really want to reach for a "purist faithful emu sound" with using plugins, you need to invest time+money into quality processors.. usually adding a touch of eq + dynamics treatment + nonlinearity will do the trick. Mostly all plug emus sound "close but no cigar" on their own.. D16 boxes are no exception in this regard IMO.

1. get the DECIMORT recommend the full silver box collection..worth every money
2. UAD Studer 800
3. UAD Ampex
4. MAGNETIC II from Nomad factory
5...Shit gets beef the fuck up punchy & noisy just the way tape cassette drug us with acidtrax
6 ...kills all chicks that are thin and clones them thick like analog

don't d16 claim to model the gain stages of the 606? Nitonhat raw doesn't sound like 606 line out. The modeled harmonics and distortion are just not accurate to the 606. Nepheton and Drumazon sound right, Nithonat doesn't.
